About Me

I am a native of Arkansas, but now reside in Georgia. I love the Razorbacks. I love the south. I love sitting on the screened in porch sippin' lemonade. I love every shade of lipgloss on earth. I love bright colors. I love laying in the hammock listening to the birds and in the same breath I am terrified of birds! I love pedicures with cajun shrimp nail polish in the summer. I love listening to babies laugh. I love the smell of laundry detergent. This blog is all about cooking, crafts, decorating, my journey to getting into shape, and anything else I can think of! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Emily

3 years ago today my niece, Emily Brooke, was brought into this world. It was one of the happiest days of my life. My sister lived 750 miles away so unfortunately I couldn't be there. So, they put me on speaker phone in the hospital room so I could hear everything. That first cry was the best sound I have ever heard and I will never forget it. Emily is the most amazing little girl I have ever been around. She is the one who made me realize I had a love for photography. The first picture of her below was taken at 2 weeks old and it was the first "photo shoot" I had ever done. It was done with a canon power shot, before I even had a real camera! I loved taking pictures of her so much, I started taking more and more and it led me to where I am today. Thanks Emily Brooke! You bring more joy to my life than you will ever know.
